Background and approach
She offers straightforward tools and practices people can try between sessions. Her background includes work in independent practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient settings. That variety shapes a practical approach aimed at everyday life challenges.
She has also supported people coping with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. In sessions she uses approaches from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and mindfulness practices. She also uses readings, podcasts, and structured exercises when they fit a person’s goals.
The focus is on manageable strategies that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Dr. Sullivan speaks English and provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Her practice is geared toward collaborative planning so each person finds a pace and approach that fits their life.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now. It helps when worries about closeness, trust, or repeated relationship patterns are getting in the way of day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different tools to see what fits. Together you will set small goals, track what helps, and adjust the plan so it matches your needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls give face-to-face time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let you send short updates or work through a skill between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
